Nonetheless, while P0300 refers to faults in the ignition system, misfires, and especially random misfires, are often caused by faults that may not be directly related to the ignition system.

What causes sparkplugs to fail with P0300 code?

NOTE #3: Note that low fuel pressure, or other conditions that cause a lean fuel mixture can cause sparkplugs to overheat and fail intermittently, which will also cause code P0300.

P0300 Trouble Code – Cylinder Misfire. What Does the P0300 Code Mean? The P0300 Trouble Code indicates that one or more engine cylinder is misfiring. If the last digit of the trouble code is not zero, for example, the code generated is P0302, the number 2 suggests that the cylinder number 2 is misfiring.

What does the last number in p0302 mean?

The last number in these accompanying codes refers to the affected cylinder. A P0302, for example, indicates a misfire on a particular cylinder (in this example, cylinder 2). Cylinder number 2 would refer, not to the second cylinder in the firing order, but the cylinder numbered “2” in the arrangement of cylinders on the engine.
